He is the Last Messenger from God till the Day of Judgment & his prophet hood is for the entire world.
He is Gods Messenger; He is not God in any way and therefore Muslims do not worship him. He received the first message from God through Angel Gibrael at the age of 40. He spent 10 years in Makka & 13 years in Madina to preach Islam; he died at the age of 63. During these 23 years, the Quran was revealed for mankind. Muhammad was an ordinary person with family and children; he was leader of a nation and a teacher.

Jihad means any effort in the path of God. Constant struggle against the evil desires within oneself is Jihad. If an Islamic state is attacked, it is the duty of all Muslims to defend themselves from the attack. This is Jihad.
Jihad is never meant to force anybody to choose a particular religion. An unjust effort or war cannot be called Jihad.

Womens rights and honor are not always respected -- rape, murder, frequent divorce, domestic violence, single parent homes, low moral and family values, abortion, prostitution, drugs, loss of peace in society, etc.still exist. Women dare not walk on a dark street or even across an empty parking lot alone. http://www.letswrap.com/dvinfo/stats.htm 95% of the victims of domestic violence are women. (DOJ) Every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted and beaten. 4 women are murdered every day by their boyfriends or husbands. 4,000,000 women a year are assaulted by their partners. Family violence kills as many women every 5 years as the total number of Americans who died in the Vietnam War.

Women's Rights
Islam enjoins morality in behavior and appearance. Fashions that reduce women to sex objects are not acceptable. Islam gave women the right of inheritance and independent ownership. Women can seek employment. Muhammads first wife was a successful business woman. Protection of Women's Honor: who launch a charge against women...produce four witnesses" (Quran 24:4). Muhammad said: treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers". The best of you are those who are kindest with your wives" .generous who are good to women, andwicked who insults them".

Polygamy
Polygamy in the West: Serial polygamy: marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce, etc; a married man with one or more girlfriends; an unmarried man with a number of girlfriends. Polygamy addresses orphans and widows in society. Billy Graham, the Evangelist said: Islam has permitted polygamy as a solution to social ills Christian countries make a great show of monogamy, but actually they practice polygamy. Islam is a fundamentally honest religion Many non-Muslim and Muslim countries have outlawed polygamy. Cheating on the wife or using women without taking responsibility are common. Is the law designed to reward deception and punish honesty?
Nearly 4 out of 5 who accepted Islam in the USA are Women.

Study different religions, compare them, and then make a rational choice. Islam is the final religion of mankind till the last day of this world. God says: We have sent you (Muhammad) as a mercy for all nations (Quran 21:107). I (God) have perfected your religion for youhave chosen for you Islam as your religion (Quran 5:3). People often say that Islam spread by the sword. This is not true. There is no mention of the word SWORD in the whole Quran. Only a few preachers went to Indonesia. Today it is the largest Muslim country.
